TinyMCE editor does not show buttons in bar

Question

I need a WYSIWYG editor so I installed drupal wysiwyg module in sites/all/modules folder. Further I downloaded TinyMCE and installed it in sites/all/libraries/tinymce.

The editor configuration is correctly displayed in admin/settings/wysiwyg/profile/2/edit. My interface language is German and TinyMCE has this language pack installed.

When I go to edit some text in the backend the editor itself is initialized but no buttons are displayed.

Any ideas why there are no buttons and how do I fix this?

Answer 1

Did you enable some button /admin/config/content/wysiwyg/profile/yourprofile/edit ?

If yes, this can be caused by a javascript error. Do you see one in Firebug ?

Answer 2

Just to make this clearer since others may not read the comments...

Try to set the language to English and make sure that each filter configuration is set to English (in my case one was French and the other English)

Answer 3

Installation: Step 1: In Drupal 7, Download Tinymce (I've used TinyMCE 3.5.11 jQuery package) from here and save as like the actual library can be found at:

\sites\all\libraries\tinymce\jscripts\tiny_mce\jquery.tinymce.js

Step 2: Then reload the page and go to this location:

/admin/config/content/wysiwyg

Step 3: Now choose tinymce from 'Editor' column for your appropriate 'Text Format' and click on the 'Save' button.

Step 4: Click on the 'Edit' button of tinymce enabled 'Text Format'.

Step 5: Make sure 'Language' is English in 'Basic Setup' tab.

Step 6: By default all button and plugins are disabled. So enable your required button or plugins from 'Buttons and plugins' tab,strong text otherwise you'll not see any button in 'rich text' input mode. N.B.: Step 6 is the main answer of the question.
